teachers

So for those of you that don't know, when Brock turned about 6 months old or so, I started worrying about him. He wouldn't respond to his name like Everett would and so I just started to worry that he might either be hard of hearing or that he might have aspergers. You hear so much about it with our generation of children that its hard not to think one of your children might have some type of autism. Well i talked to the boys doctor about this for a few months and she gave me a phone number to have him evaluated. I call the number, set up an appointment and it finds out, he's absolutely fine but he is a little behind with speech and comprehension so we were able to get services through the state to have a speech therapist and a behaviorist come out a couple of times a month and work with him. These two women are just awesome. Our behaviorist works so well with Brock AND Everett and has taught me a lot about how to work with my boys. She is very down to earth and i think above all what I like most about having her come visit with us, is that she reminds me that I'm doing a good job at being their Mom. I really appreciate her and how she has help our little family. Over the past 3 months she has been our teacher and now become our friend. I can tell how much she really cares about my boys and above all, I am thankful for that on this fine day in November! :)
